Saturday’s Top Performers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Which prospects stood out on Saturday?</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='981201' first='Levi' last='Birkholz'] -- SG -- Lakeside Lutheran </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Birkholz has long been one of my favorite players to watch. The shooting guard is a competitor on both ends of the court. When the Lakeside Lutheran prospect laces up his sneakers, you can count on him playing with top level effort. On Saturday, Birkholz led his team to a win. He scored an efficient 28 points on 10 made shots. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1115915' first='Tyran' last='Cook'] -- SG -- Waukesha South </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Even though Waukesha South suffered a tough loss, Cook still played well. The shooting guard tallied 25 points in the loss. It doesn't matter who he is matching up against, Cook is capable of scoring with ease. He is no doubt one of the more gifted scorers in the state. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='953944' first='Milan' last='Momcilovic'] -- SF -- Pewaukee </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Momcilovic's efficiency is very impressive. Even though he primarily operates on the perimeter, the small forward still is able to shoot a high percentage. In a blowout win for Pewaukee on Saturday, the SF put up a routine 21 points on 9-11 shooting from the field, including 3-4 from three. At the next level, Momcilovic has the potential to become a star. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1203602' first='Sekou' last='Konneh'] -- PF -- Saint Thomas More</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Konneh's potential is truly endless. As an athlete, the power forward is strong, physical, and bouncy. In a close win over a talented Illinois team, Konneh put up 26 points on 12 made shots. When the Saint Thomas More product is playing at his best, he is a formidable opponent. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Cartier Parr -- PG -- Messmer</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Parr is an underrated point guard prospect in Wisconsin's 2023 class. The Messmer standout is a skilled shooter who can drain shots from well beyond the arc. Even though Parr didn't have his best shooting performance on Saturday, he still was able to put up 19 points. College programs looking for a point guard should take a good look at Parr. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Alex Mierow -- F -- Franklin</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Franklin has played great basketball lately. Mierow has been a major factor in his team's success. The forward has played smart, efficient basketball. In a win over a top team from Chicago, Mierow led the charge. He scored 18 points in the winning effort. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1039370' first='Domonic' last='Pitts'] -- F -- Racine St. Catherines </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I am a big fan of Racine St. Catherines' Pitts. The 6-foot-4 forward is having a tremendous season. On Saturday, Pitts posted one of his best performances of the year. He scored 19 points on six made field goals. Racine St. Catherines could make a deep run this march led by Pitts. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
